"AI fills the vacuum with the obvious thing." I like that a lot.

I just realized how refreshing it is to read an honest take like "from 2-3 documents an hour to 8-10 documents an hour" instead of "it's doing the work of a month in 5 minutes!!!!1".

The problem with this is that iirc, this also signals to web pages that you do not like a lot of motion, which IS a nice UX enhancer for some pages, but might supress animations from (auto)playing where it's not what you want because t

Isn’t that a door (haha) opened by our supreme new AI coding overlords: that now it’s possible to take the Every Door source code (it’s on Github), and throw it into a coding agent with the instruction to „improve <ux shortcoming of your

I was recently musing in this general direction, too. The movie business is completely foreign to me, but I wonder if stuff like this would work: copyright owners licensing out their IP for niche studios serving niche audiences — I‘m pretty

Did you also talk about this: > “Throughout OECD countries, men are much more likely to die from suicide, acute alcohol abuse or a drug overdose – on average, almost 4 men for every woman. This gender gap is largest in Poland, at 8.2.” S

But why the did Poland introduce a de-facto abortion ban in early 2021, with terminations only permitted in cases of rape, incest or if there is a threat to the mother's health or life? And abortions due to fetal abnormalities are no l

Wouldn’t „more freedom of expression“ imply less conservative? Or what aspects of conservatism, and what aspects of freedom of expression, are you referring to here?

> What if, when you wanted a new feature in the software you are using, you could just prompt your agent to add it? Yep, that's precisely the vision I formulated some months ago: https://manuel.kiessling.net/2025&#x2

To be honest, it feels like you are contradicting yourself. If LLMs are, as you stated, really good at catching potential issues, then they are, almost by definition, really good at producing code without potential issues, if guided correct

Well, I really wish that anyone, no matter their income level or job description, is immune against murder; or are we just throwing out civilization now?

I also like how they ask the model to work on it for 8 hours; guess asking for more is against labor laws…

If you cannot be bothered with learning our language, and think that being rich somehow makes our country owe you its citizenship — then yeah, maybe Germany isn’t for you.

This is half question, half thought experiment: What exactly is it that makes us think „great, I can delegate coding to the agent, and focus on architecture myself“, instead of „great, I can delegate coding to the agent, and I can delegate

It has always been my understanding that if talking about homo sapiens sapiens: then if you could „snatch“ a newborn from 200k years ago and raise it just like any other human baby today, there is nothing in terms of biology etc. that would

I fully agree with the „AI demands more engineering discipline“ premise. And I‘ve quickly realized that it’s also much easier to follow that premise. Not only because agents obviously help with writing documentation, test cases, DX tools,

Well it can go in both directions I guess. How to design a system well for the long term is definitely in the training data, and I‘m regularly very content with the suggestions that SOTA coding agents make when asked for it.

If I had one unqualified guess free — and boy am I unqualified here — I’d wager it’s those „zero sugar“ stuffs. No way you can just replace (also very very not good for you) sugar with something else and end up with all the upsides and no d

Crazy. On mobile it’s relatively easy to grab the playhead and scrub back and forth quickly over the full length of the video — this shows how the face movements are totally repetitive and constrained to a very limited space and variety.

I think the main difference, and the angle that makes your approach much more feasible, is that what users of your solution build fully lives „outside“ the core application that they build against, right? While my approach is that users wou

You probably have other stuff on your mind right now, thus I can understand if you are not in the mood for answering, but I‘m too curious to not ask: According to the Reuters article, AI use has increased 6x over only three months. How did

This is only a tangential question, but anyway: I‘ve read several years ago that since around Photoshop version 4, 99% of the work is about keeping the application UI usable with all these new features, and not about „hard“ technical challe

Reading only the parts of the post that are not about AI does not instill the sense that Mr Armstrong is the kind of person who would hesitate to say that people are let go because the company wants/needs to save money.

Yeah but imagine yourself lying on the floor with your vision being your only sense, plus an info floating in your mind: „fyi, you are no longer upright“. That’s all, you feel nothing else. Now your job is to move all parts of your body in
